SyNopsis—Parnell, leader of
with Katie O'Shea, estranged wife of a mew Irish member of Parlia-|-
ment, Captain Willie O'Shea, who had induced her to entertain Par-
nell in their home to further his political ambitions. She had nursed
Parnell following a heart attack caused by his strenuous exertions in
“Ireland to quell ‘renewed violence after the Phoenix Park murders.
It is through Katie's discovery of a letter from the man who forged
the letters that caused The House to try Parnell for complicity in the
murders, that he is freed of the
and given Gladstone's promise to introduce an Irish Home Rule Bill.
CHAPTER THREE
Parnell and Katie O'Shea had stepped out of Parliament building into
one of London’s “pea-soup” fogs, lost their way and wandered about the
streets, happy to be alone together in the moment of his great triumph. It
was some hours later when they returned to Eltham and found Willie
O’Shea waiting to see Parnell. The Irish leader cut short Willie's congrat-
ulations.
“What did you want to see me about?”
“It’s about myself. I feel that I should be something better than a mere

THE DALLAS POST, DALLAS, PA,
the Irish National Party, is in love
charge, welcomed back to the House
M. P. After all, I've been pretty close to you, these last four months.
You've been our guest. Everybody knows that. Don’t I deserve some more
#aportant position?”
“Such as?” asked Parnell quietly.
“You'll have the right to nominate
Chief Secretary when you have your
own Parliament in Ireland. I think
my importance to the Party entitles
me to the appointment.”
“Your importance to the party!”
Parnell put wounding contempt into
the words. “You have none! I should
be betraying the whole Irish Party—
everything I believe in."
“And that’s the thanks I get for be-
friending you, letting you stay here,
when all the world was against you!”
“Charles has been here
guest,” said Katie.
as my
“That is a. dangerous admission,” re-
torted her husband. “Come now, Mr.
Parnell, what do I get?”
“Nothing till you prove your worth
to Ireland and the Party.”
“I think jou are making a mistake,
I though we could be friends. If we
can't . . . there are others who don’t
think me as unimportant as you do.
The Irish aren't the only Party.” He
ostentatiously took up his hat and left
slowly. Parnell did not call him back
as he evidently expected.
“That was a threat,”
panic stricken.
“Yes, I know.” :
It was not until they were leaving
Eltham to attend the reception "at
which Gladstone had promised to an-
nounce his sponsorship of an Irish
Home Rule Bill, that Willie O'Shea
again showed his hand. As they were
starting for the carriage, both Katie
and Parnell were served with papers
in Willie's divorce suit. He named
Parnell as co-respondent.
“He's chosen a fine moment for it,”
said Aunt Ben who was going to the
reception with them. She was near
tears. “Tomorrow this will be in all
the papers.”
said Katie,
“Tomorrow, yes, bt so will Home
Rule,” replied Parnell.
“I wonder,” said Aunt Ben,
When they reached Iondon, they
found newsboys selling extras, shout-
ing the headlines: ‘Parnell named in
divorce! Irish leader named in di-
vorce!”
“It has been given to the papers de-
liberately tonight,” said Parnell.
He sent the ladies back to Eltham
while he went to his office and dis-
patched a letter by messenger to Glad-
stone, asking if his presence at the re-
ception would prove an embarrass-
ment to the Liberal leader.
Katie and Aunt Ben, instead of re-
turning at once to Eltham, proceeded
to the hotel at which Willie was stay-
ing. Katie came right to the point,
ending his astonishment at their call.
“Willie, I want you to withdraw
this suit for divorce.”
“Why, that’s what you have always
asked for.”
“I know, but now I ask you to with-
draw it. Or if it's a divorce you want,
let me divorce you, or else you name
some other man than Charles. Why
did ‘you choose this moment? Out of
spite? What harm have I done you, or
he either, except to refuse to get a po-
sition for pou that you had no right to
ask for?”
“Is tarnishing my honor no harm?”
Steailng my wife?”
“You've known that for months.
You must withdraw the suit.”
“Surely, Willie,” said Aunt Ben, “a
little money would remove the tarnish
from your honor. I'll double your al-
lowance.”
“It's no use, Aunt Ben. I can't.”
“Listen to me, Willie O'Shea: on the
dgy that you withdraw this suit I'll
settle 20,000 pounds on you. And then
never see you again. It will be cheap
at the price.”
“Twenty-" cried Willie, his face
flushing, a greedy light in his eyes.
“But I can’t- I tell you it's out of my
hands now!”
“They've tried to ruin Charles be-
fore,” said Katie. “Remember what
happened to Piyott. I'll defend the
case, go on the witness stand and
say you and-I conspired together to
get Charles to the house to use him
for your ends. When you failed, pou
turned to this suit .s a revenge. If
I say that ac nst myself, who'll
the Court believe, you or me.
“You wouldn't dare! Youd de-
stroy yourself =~ have to leave Enz-
land.” .
Pe
“She’ll do it, Willie,”
Ben. “Withdraw the suit.”
Upon his again protesting that it
was too late, that he couldn't with-
draw it, Katie and Aunt Ben left the
hotel.
said Aunt
Parnell was waiting for them at
Eltham. Katie told him of her at-
tempt to get Willie to withdraw the
suit, of her determination to go on
the witness box and swear she and
Willie had conspired to get Parnell
to. make love to her, a plot from the
still
we've wanted!
we can marry.”
“Not at such a cost!” she cried,
“It’s your career, your destiny I'm
fighting for. Home Rule is bigger than
your career. It's the whole people—
all the dreams you've held out to
they will be dashed to the ground if
this happens. It's got to be good-
bye. You must leave and not see me
again.”
“For better or worse this has hap-
pened to us, Katie. It means a fight,
but I've never been afraid of a fight.
I shan’t be now, with you beside me.
The Party will stand by tne. It’s never
failed me yet. All I ask is you. They
can’t refuse me that.”
“Im afraid, Charles, afraid...”
The Irish members of the House, as-
sembled in Committee Room 15, fell
silent as Parnell entered and called
the meeting to order. He had sent
Redmond and Hea} to interview Glad-
stone. He now asked them to re-
port on the interview. ‘They stated
that Gladstone had assured them of
his heartfelt desire that England
should have Home Rule, but that their
first business was to choose a new
leader. :
“Did he promise you HomeRule?”
demanded Parnell.
“How could he? How can he traffic
with a Party whose leader has dis-
graced them?” responded Healy. “But
it's Home Rule we'll have and get!”
“Not without the alliance and unity
we have today”
“There's no alliance any more. It
perished in the stench of the divorce
court!”
Parnell quieted the uproar that fol-
lowed Healy's words. “Unity is the
weapon you'll need now more than
ever. If you think you can fight Mr.
Gladstone better without me, that
is for you to decide. But don’t sell
me for nothing. If you ‘surrender me,
it is your bound duty to get value for
the sacrifice. I have a Parliament for
Ireland in the hollow of my hand. rd
give you my word I'll get it for you
if you'll let me.”
“And if you don’t meet another Ka-
tie O'Shea!” cried a red-faced mem-
ber raucously. In the renewed uproar
Parnell sprang at the speaker and
be tied to him. Isn't this what |

knocked him down with a terrific blow
to the jaw. Parnéll’s hand was seen
to go swiftly to his side, while the
blood drained from his face. His sec-
retary sprang to his side. Healy wav-
ing his arms, was shouting:
“Parnell will never get Home Rule.
All he can get is insults. His ‘name is
a by-word and always will be. From
tonight there's 'a new Irish Party.
Those who are with me, who have the
honor of Ireland at heart, who'd have |
a new Party and a new leader, follow

Quietly byt twos and threes, more
than half of the members left the room
while Campbell sent Michael Davitt,
who had hesitated at the door, for a
physican. :
Dr. Gillespie ordered a bed made up
in Parnell’s office; the physical
wrench of the blow he had struck had
brought about a recurrence of the|
heart trouble to which [Parnell was
subject. Parnell demanded to know the
truth of his condition; learned that
there was small hope for him,
Alone with Campbell and Michael,
he announced that he was going to
Katie at Eltham. They could not dis-
suade him, and finally gave in. Camp-
bell went ahead to warn Katie.
‘She stood in the doorway, snow
blowing about her, as Parnell’s car-
riage drew up. She ran out and help-
ed Davitt get him into the house. She
wanted to put him to bed at once, but
ihe insisted upon being taken into the
drawing room by the fire place.
“Oh, -you shouldn't have
Charles.”
“I had to. I'd have come across the
| world to you tonight. Let me hold you
i... There, it's good to have you against
"ny heart where you belong.” ;
Michael and Campbell at last car-
ried him up to bed. While they wait-
ed downstairs for what was to come,
Katie sat by his side all night, her
hand clasped in his. It was numb
from the night-long clasp when her
own physician arrived in the morning.
He loosened Parnell’s fingers and sent
her out of the room.

Aunt Ben was outside the door She
took the numb hand that Katie was
rubbing and massaged it gently.
“Aunt Ben, it isn’t possible, is it,
that he’s...just slipping away from
us? What is there left when it's all
over?...Just memories?”
“More than that, my dear. The
happiness and strength that your love
gave him; the knowledge that you
made him happy_—_made a great man
happy.”
Katie was on the sofa, Aunt Ben's
arms about her, when the doctor came
out of the sick room and said his pa-
tient was awake, asking for her. She
found Parnell propped up on the pil-
lows. He reached for her hand.
“Don’t go away again. Don’t ever
go away.”
“I'll never go away.”
“I'm going to get well, Katie. The
doctor didn’t say so, but I know I am,
with you beside 'me. If I'd stayed in
town, I couldn’t have gone on. There's
so much we've never had time to do
together—"
“You shouldn't talk, dearest.”
“Yes, but this is important__the
most important thing in my life: our
marriage. Do you want me to ask you
again, Katie? Will you be my wife?”
“Charles, don’t...I want to be more
than all the world. You know that.”
‘Do plou want a grand wedding, with
a choir and page-boys? There won't
be orange blossoons though. You'll
wear white roses. Where shall we
live?”

now”
